Fiat 500L 1970 (dark blue) Fiat 500 for sale


  • A new feature of the 500L, and one that easy differentiates it from the 500D, 500F etc, is the front (and rear) crashbar over the bumper

  • This gorgeous example is a left hand drive model, imported into the UK a good ten years after its date of manufacture

  • Note the rear crashbar, protecting the rear bumper, and the chrome strip above the windows

  • The back luggage rack would come in pretty useful. Storage space is certainly precious in a Fiat 500!

  • Earlier Fiat 500 models had a grille behind the Fiat emblem - the omission of this is one feature of the 500L

  • The rear badging designates this as a Fiat 500L - replacing the Nuova 500 lettering on other older 500s

  • The redesigned interior of the 500L includes new leatherette seats, carpets, black steering wheel and plastic dashboard

  • A new feature of the 500L, and one that easy differentiates it from the 500D, 500F etc, is the front (and rear) crashbar over the bumper

The Fiat 500L, or Fiat 500 Lusso, was, in essence, a more highly appointed version of the Fiat 500F. (Lusso is the Italian word for luxury). The Fiat 500 had already been in production for a decade on it's launch (1967), and production of this variant lasted until 1971, though they were still for sale through 1972. Note the additional front and rear crashbar and upgraded interior.

  • A nice example of a left hand drive Fiat 500L

  • 500L features include front and rear chrome crash bars, window surrounds, and side stripe above the windows

  • The sunroof of the Fiat 500L extends about half way across the roof. The sunroof was not optional!

  • The Fiat 500L had a simplified front end (compared to the previous variant, the 500F) without chrome grille and horizontal stripe, though it does have the chrome crash bar in front of the bumper

  • Interestingly, the reverse of this car is simply badged Fiat 500 - not 500L as is the case with this 1970 Fiat 500L

This is a lovely example of a Fiat 500L, built towards the end of 500L production (1967-1971) - one of 4 million Cinquecentos made in Italy between 1957 and 1975. L stands for 'Lusso' which is the Italian word for luxury; this model has somewhat fancier trim than the Fiat 500F that was available at the same time. It's a left hand drive, with a first registration date of December 1970.
